Warehouse & Distribution
Southeast Warehousing and
Distribution Solutions Built for
Complex Supply Chains
Is Your Current Warehousing Setup Holding You Back?
- Your current 3PL cannot scale fast enough to absorb seasonal spikes or promotional volume.
- You are managing too many warehouse relationships, which is causing you to lose visibility across your network.
- Your provider responds slowly, creates red tape, and treats you like a low-priority account.
- Your logistics costs keep climbing with no clear explanation of where the increases are coming from.
- You are paying for expensive metro-market overhead when your freight lanes do not require it.
If any of these describe your situation, you are not dealing with a supply chain problem. You are dealing with a provider problem.

Why Middle Georgia Is the Right Place for Your Distribution Operation
- Port of Savannah access. Gilmer’s facilities are within reach of one of the largest container ports on the East Coast, enabling drayage support and rapid port-to-warehouse transfers.
- Atlanta market proximity without Atlanta costs. Gilmer delivers the same service coverage as an Atlanta-based 3PL at a meaningfully lower cost structure, because we are not paying for Atlanta’s cost of living or real estate.
- Middle Georgia is the new McDonough. The corridor between Macon and the metro Atlanta market is rapidly becoming a preferred distribution hub for CPG manufacturers and retailers who need fast access to Southeast consumers without the congestion and cost of I-285.
- Rail-served locations. Select Gilmer facilities allow direct railcar loading and unloading, reducing handling steps and cutting transit time for bulk freight.
- Access to major CPG and manufacturing corridors. Our location puts us in range for the fast-growing CPG and manufacturing bases in Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Florida.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of products does Gilmer store and distribute?
Gilmer handles raw materials, work-in-progress inventory, and finished goods across a wide range of product categories. Our AIB-certified, food-grade facilities make us a preferred partner for CPG, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods manufacturers.
How many warehouse locations does Gilmer operate?
Gilmer currently operates 14 facilities across the Southeast, totaling more than 2.5 million square feet of warehouse space. Several locations are rail-served, and our network is positioned to provide access to major Southeast freight corridors, including the Port of Savannah.
Can Gilmer handle seasonal volume spikes without a long-term contract?
Yes. One of Gilmer’s core strengths is the ability to absorb overflow and seasonal surge volume without requiring a long-term dedicated contract. We can structure an arrangement around your actual operational needs.
What makes Gilmer different from other Southeast 3PL providers?
The primary differentiators are geographic advantage, cost structure, and operational agility. Gilmer’s Middle Georgia location provides Atlanta-level service access at a lower cost point, with proximity to the Port of Savannah and rail infrastructure that most regional 3PLs cannot match. We also have no internal red tape. Our team is empowered to respond quickly and design solutions that fit your operation.
Is Gilmer's warehousing food-grade certified?
Several of Gilmer’s facilities carry AIB (American Institute of Baking) certification, qualifying them for food-grade storage.
How long does it typically take to onboard a new warehousing client?
Onboarding timelines vary based on operational complexity, but Gilmer is built to move quickly. For overflow or urgent capacity needs, we can often begin intake within days of agreement. For full dedicated programs, our team will establish a realistic onboarding timeline in our planning conversations.
What is the typical contract length for warehousing services?
Gilmer offers both project-based and long-term arrangements. We structure agreements based on what the client’s operation actually requires.
